+<P>Below is a complete list of commands available from the cluster prompt.
+Most maintenance tasks are automatic but there are some commands that are useful
+for a sysop. These are listed below in alphabetical order. The number in
+brackets following the command name is the permissions level needed to use
+the command.

+<H2><A NAME="ss8.1">8.1 accept/announce (0)</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>accept/announce [0-9] <pattern></B> Set an accept filter
+line for announce</CODE>
+<P>
+<P>Create an 'accept this announce' line for a filter.
+<P>An accept filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it is
+passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this
+to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
+<P>You can use any of the following things in this line:-

+<P>
+<P>Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter.
+<P>
+<P>An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is
+passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this
+to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
+<P>You can use any of the following things in this line:-

+SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -
+thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -

+<P>
+<P>Start a connection process that will culminate in a new connection to the

+<H2><A NAME="ss8.17">8.17 dbavail (0)</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>dbavail</B> Show a list of all the databases in the system</CODE>
+<P>
+<P>The title says it all really, this command lists all the databases defined
+in the system. It is also aliased to SHOW/COMMAND.
+<P>
+<H2><A NAME="ss8.18">8.18 dbcreate (9)</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>dbcreate <name></B> Create a database entry<BR>
+<B>dbcreate <name> chain <name> [<name>..]</B> Create a chained database entry<BR>
+<B>dbcreate <name> remote <node></B> Create a remote database
+entry<BR></CODE>
+<P>
+<P>DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't actually
+create anything, just defines it.
+<P>The databases that are created are simple DB_File hash databases, they are
+therefore already 'indexed'.
+<P>You can define a local database with the first form of the command eg:
+<P>DBCREATE oblast
+<P>You can also chain databases with the addition of the 'chain' keyword.
+This will search each database one after the other. A typical example
+is:
+<P>DBCREATE sdx_qsl chain sql_ad
+<P>No checking is done to see if the any of the chained databases exist, in
+fact it is usually better to do the above statement first then do each of
+the chained databases.
+<P>Databases can exist offsite. To define a database that lives on another
+node do:
+<P>DBCREATE buckmaster remote gb7dxc
+<P>Remote databases cannot be chained; however, the last database in a
+a chain can be a remote database eg:
+<P>DBCREATE qsl chain gb7dxc
+<P>To see what databases have been defined do:
+<P>DBAVAIL (or it will have been aliased to SHOW/COMMAND)
+<P>It would be normal for you to add an entry into your local Aliases file
+to allow people to use the 'SHOW/<dbname>' style syntax. So you would
+need to add a line like:-
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ 's' => [
+ ..
+ ..
+ '^sh\w*/buc', 'dbshow buckmaster', 'dbshow',

+<H2><A NAME="ss8.19">8.19 dbimport (9)</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>dbimport <dbname></B> Import AK1A data into a database</CODE>
+<P>
+<P>If you want to import or update data in bulk to a database you can use
+this command. It will either create or update entries into an existing
+database. For example:-
+<P>DBIMPORT oblast /tmp/OBLAST.FUL
+<P>will import the standard OBLAST database that comes with AK1A into the
+oblast database held locally.
+<P>
+<H2><A NAME="ss8.20">8.20 dbremove (9)</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>dbremove <dbname></B> Delete a database</CODE>
+<P>
+<P>DBREMOVE will completely remove a database entry and also delete any data
+file that is associated with it.
+<P>There is no warning, no comeback, no safety net.
+<P>For example:
+<P>DBREMOVE oblast
+<P>will remove the oblast database from the system and it will also remove
+the associated datafile.
+<P>I repeat:
+<P>There is no warning, no comeback, no safety net.
+<P>You have been warned.

+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>dbshow <dbname> <key></B> Display an entry, if it exists, in a database</CODE>
+<P>
+<P>This is the generic user interface to the database to the database system.
+It is expected that the sysop will add an entry to the local Aliases file
+so that users can use the more familiar AK1A style of enquiry such as:
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

+<P>
+<P>List the messages in the messages directory.
+<P>If there is a 'p' one space after the message number then it is a
+personal message. If there is a '-' between the message number and the
+'p' then this indicates that the message has been read.
+<P>You can use shell escape characters such as '*' and '?' in the <call>

+<P>
+<P>Export a message to a file. This command can only be executed on a local
+console with a fully privileged user. The file produced will be in a form
+ready to be imported back into the cluster by placing it in the import
+directory (/spider/msg/import).
+<P>This command cannot overwrite an existing file. This is to provide some
+measure of security. Any files written will owned by the same user as the

+<P>
+<P>This command sends all the latitude and longitude information that your
+cluster is holding against callsigns. One advantage of recieving this
+information is that more locator information is held by you. This
+means that more locators are given on the DX line assuming you have
+<EM>set/dxgrid</EM> enabled. This could be a LOT of information though, so
+it is not recommended on slow links.

+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>forward/opername <call></B> Send out information on this <call> to all clusters</CODE>
+<P>
+<P>This command sends out any information held in the user file which can
+be broadcast in PC41 protocol packets. This information is Name, QTH, Location
+and Homenode. PC41s are only sent for the information that is available.
+<P>
+<H2><A NAME="ss8.31">8.31 help (0)</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P><CODE><B>help <cmd></B> Get help on a command</CODE>
